Chapter 8

Molly woke from a deep sleep, with hands around her throat, squeezing the life out of her. She was not able to get a grip on anything, not with him banging her head against the floor.

“Where the hell is it? You stupid bitch!”

She blinked up at her attacker, grabbing at his hands, as she tried to pull him free just so she could breathe. However, he was too strong. She was still struggling, when Arthur yelled from the door.

“Leave her alone, you idiot. You’re choking her. How the fuck do you expect her to answer anything like that?”

Bingo turned, then lumbered toward Arthur, his fist swinging wide.

Arthur sighed. “You’re being tiresome, Bingo. I hate it when you’re drunk.”

“Yeah, but you’re the one who sent me out to the pub, so you knew I would get drunk.” Bingo sneered. “You didn’t give a shit then.”

“No, I wanted you that way,” he muttered. “Who wouldn’t? God, this is ridiculous. You’re such a bore when you act like this.”

At that, Bingo took another clumsy swing at Arthur.

She sat up, pulling herself tightly into a ball, even as she struggled to breathe, frantic to clear her airways, which even now felt like they were on fire. She watched in horror as Arthur reached out with a right hook that absolutely amazed her and dropped Bingo to the ground.

Arthur sighed. “That’ll keep him out of your hair for a little bit,” he muttered in a mild tone. “You better hope your bloody boyfriend decides to do the right thing. Otherwise we’ll have a problem.” And, with that, Arthur turned to the door and walked out of the room, leaving Bingo lying prone on his face in the doorway.

She stared down at him in horror. She didn’t even know why he’d woken her up from a deep sleep, but now there was no chance to even ask him. She stared out the door, wondering if she should ask Arthur. She got up and made her way to the bathroom. She hesitated in the doorway, as she stepped over Bingo, trying hard to stay out of the unconscious man’s reach.

Arthur looked up and laughed at her. “While he’s out, he’s harmless.”

“Yeah, but he won’t stay that way,” she muttered.

He gave her a dark look. “True, and he’ll be pissed. I haven’t had to knock him out like that in a while.”

She didn’t know what to say to that but raced into the bathroom, where she quickly used the facilities. When she stepped out, she hesitated. “What was he yelling at me about? What did he want?”

“I think you ate his chicken,” Arthur replied, with a shrug.

She stared at him in horror. “I thought it was for me,” she cried out. “He left it with me.”

“Yeah, well”—Arthur smirked, as if he were truly enjoying himself—“he was too drunk to realize that he just gave you all the groceries, not necessarily the ones he wanted you to have.”

“Oh,” she whispered. “I ate some of it but not all of it.
